Diet Leek and Potato Soup Recipe – comfort food from my childhood: Every weekend that I am in London I wander over to the Farmers’ Market at Oval.  My first stop is always the same.  I go to the first farm stall to buy chicken carcasses – 4 for a pound.  I boil them up […]

A More Mindful Diet with the Mindful Chef

Lemongrass trout with coconut lime rice recipe: As a keen cook who lives by herself, I never really considered recipe boxes.  But, as it happens, The Mindful Chef does have recipe boxes for one.  I believe they are the only recipe box company that offers boxes for a single person – so, I was able […]

The Mindful Chef – Red Pesto Fish Skewers

Healthy Food to Cook at Home – the Mindful Chef  Red Pesto Fish Skewers: I love the idea of recipe boxes as a way of inspiring people to cook new dishes.  There are various bits of research which suggest most of us never cook more than 9 recipes on a regular basis.  Think about it. […]

5:2 Diet Recipe One Pot Seabass – an Extreme Take on Intermittent Fasting

5:2 Diet Recipes – One Pot Seabass with Fennel  – More Intermittent Than Intended Fasting: My 5:2 diet plans have become rather more 6:1 than 5:2 (sometimes even 7:0).  Despite limiting my ability to diet or to cook 5:2 diet recipes I do love my current lifestyle.  The travel writing I am doing is helping […]

Poached Chicken with Wild Garlic Pesto – a 5:2 Diet Recipe

Poached Chicken with Wild Garlic Pesto – Making Diet Food Tasty The healthiest of food can suddenly turn into something rich and calorific quite easily.

Cod with Clams and Samphire for a 5:2 Diet Fast Day

A fishy 5:2 fast diet recipe in more than one way: While I’m busy cooking 5:2 diet recipes I’m also working on my food photography.  Or, more accurately, I’m working on my food styling.  This 5:2 fast diet recipe looks and tastes amazing.  BUT, I just never seem to have the patience or the styling […]

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
